Question

Sea turtles lay a large number of eggs in the sand. When the eggs hatch, the baby sea

turtles make their way back to the ocean water. How does laying a large number of
eggs help the sea turtles survive?

Answer 1

C. It increases the chance that more sea turtles will survive and become adults.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

It helps the sea turtles to survive because there are seagulls and other predators at the beach, so they will eat at least some of the baby turtles. But, when there are a large amount, the predators will be distracted with another baby turtle and hopefully at least some will make it to the ocean.
